CrushBoss

Hi guys, Just thought after reading a lot of posts about game performance i would quickly post this. My system is about 3 years old and was only just running Arma 3 to acceptable levels on standard. Old system: CPU : i7 X980 @ 4Ghz Motherboard : X58A-UD3R - Gigabyte Ram : 12 gigs Drives : 1 X SSD "System" 1 X SSD "Games" Video Cards: ATI HD5870 X 3 in crossfire Sound card : Soundblaster Xfi "fatality" Power supply : 1200 watt After struggling to run Arma 3 in standard mode i pulled out all the ATI cards and replaced it with a G-Force GTX 680, the change was huge. Now Arma 3 runs smooth with very high frame rates (35-50) "online" and "single player" on Ultra. TLDR : out with the old crossfired 5870s, in with the GTX 680.

To be honest i dont notice them at all when im playing, but when your at desktop surfing and running apps thats when you notice.

Hi guys, Just thought i would do the right thing and give some feedback on the 1.16 patch for Arma. Test Rig: Mother Board: Asus P6T Ram: Corsair Micro 12GB PC-12800 (1600MHz) XMS DDR3 Triple Channel, 9-9-9-24 Video : 2 x ATi 4890s in Cross Fire Sound : onboard HD Hard Drives 1 x Raptor (OS Drive) 2 x 500 gig (storage drives) Mouse : Microsoft Sidewinder X8 Keyboard : Logitech G15 (2nd Edition) Screens (a) Flatron L1954TQ LG 19' x 3 Screen (b) Sony 46' 200 HZ Barvia Scrrens (a) Hardware : matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition OS: Vista 64 bit with service pack 2 and lates drivers. Arma Settings (gave high frame rates) Res : 3840x1024 @ 60 hz 12:3 FOV Terrain-Normal, Objects-Hight, Texture-High, Shading-Normal, Postprocess Effects-High, Aniso Filtering-LOW, Shadow-Normal, AA-Disabled, Blood-High. Frame Rates were between 45-60 (i use vsync), the lowest i saw frame rates goto were 28-30 with the sniper scope up. I havent used any mods yet just the standard install. I must admit BIS have done a great service to this game. I flogged this game for 6 hours straight and not 1 hang or crash, it was flawless. Keep up the good job.
